Under-14s should not be held responsible for their actions and should never be locked up in children’s homes or young offender institutions, according to The Prison Reform Trust.
Their report calls for the criminal responsibility age to be raised from 10 to 14, claiming incarceration doesnt deter under-14s, since 75% of them reoffend within a year of release. Do you agree?
